Scarlatti’s rare 1707 oratorio unfolds in a searing, emotionally charged score of luminous beauty and drama, now staged as an Australian premiere – an unmissable opportunity to experience this powerful work live 23–31 May, 2026
A tender and deeply human retelling of Cain and Abel, where compassion and forgiveness can be found, even in the darkest of days.
An exceptional cast, including Sara Macliver, Ashlyn Tymms, Madison Nonoa, Kyle Stegall, Stephanie Dillon and Taryn Fiebig Scholar Freddy Shaw, is joined by the Orchestra of the Antipodes under Erin Helyard. Together, they bring this remarkable work to life with clarity, beauty and emotional power.
“This is a piece that doesn’t sit on the surface — it emerges from something deeply felt, the music is refined and beautifully controlled, alive with tension, tenderness, and real psychological force.”
